Video Clips from A Reading of A Screenplay of The Awakening at
TheaterLab, NYC June 12, 2011
| Below are two representative scenes from the reading. Because this was a reading of a screenplay, not a play, a narrator was needed to read the location of scenes and to describe actions or events that would be represented visually on screen, but could not be shown in the reading itself. | |
The "Calling Cards" Scene (from Chapter 17)This scene features Edna and Leonce at dinner on their return to New Orleans from Grand Isle. Edna has violated one of the cardinal rules of society by being "out" on one of the days she should have been "at home." |
